What's wrong with romance?

Honestly, anime lately needs more good romances more than it needs more good slice of life shows (going by more liberal definitions of "slice of life" anyway).


To be fair, I fully expected this show to be very K-On-esque, and I was/am Ok with that. Nonetheless, it's very disappointing to know what it transitioned from.

It went from a romance in a Rome-like place with lots of fantasy elements to a slice of life show in Japan with one fantasy element. In other words, it went from "different" to "conventional". Pretty disheartening, especially since this is an anime original, where anime going a bit outside of its comfort zones is often key to it becoming great.
